Travelling to Japan

I'm travelling to Japan from 27th dec to 5th Jan. My rough itinerary is like this.

27th December - 29th December
Tokyo. Hotel in Fuchu.

29th December-31st December
Osaka. Day 1 kyoto and back to osaka for lodging. Day 2 USJ.

31st december - 5th Jan
Tokyo. Fuchu Hotel.

I'm getting the 7 day JR Pass. Is that sufficient and does it save me travelling cost?

Secondly, because me and my friend are going together, I'm planning to get 2 sim cards. 1 with data only and 1 with data with voice calls as my father is there but he does not know how to use internet. Is there any provider you can link me to that provides voice call? I've search around but it seems that all carriers are only providing data only sims.

Lastly, is there any fun place that you can recommend? Especially during this period. We're going to asakusa on new year eves to join in the commotion and some plans here and there like akihabara, Shinjuku.

Thanks for your help guys!

Hi there,

Buying a JR Pass is certainly recommended for your trip. A 7 day JR Pass is almost the same price as a normal return ticket Tokyo - Osaka using the Shinkansen. So any additional travel is basically what you would save.
